Hello fellow expats, I am living in Istanbul since 2004 and I noticed that running is getting more attention in Istanbul. There are more opportunities for races and the parks are great for running work-outs, because of its surface ant the different levels. So, I started organizing running work-outs in the parks and the forest. Running work-outs in Istanbul as a certified trainer for starters and progressive long distance runners and I offer opportunities for work-outs (60-90 minutes) in the Maçka Park, Emirgan Park, the Belgrad Forest, ENKA Athletics Center in Istinye or another convenient area in Istanbul.
Interested??

Hiya
I am also interested and have been looking for a kick-start to start running. Which parks and forests have you got in mind?

Hi, this sounds great - I've been here for a couple of months now and been letting the running slip. It would be good motivation to have a regular session. I'll message you my details.
